Tapered ring?

P: 11/16/2004 3:43:24 PM
Hest88 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,680 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 1/22/2003	Okay, now that my sister has her asscher in hand, she's changing her idea of what she wants for her setting. Before it was tapered baguettes, but now it's something where the shank tapers into the crown or something with a really thin shank to make the stone pop. She's starting her search with something like this Michael B or this setting from Icestore.com, but open to anything where the ring is really thin. Ideas, pictures? I think I'll send her Mara's ring as well, which doesn't taper but is thin.

reena Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,531 Last Post: 8/22/2005 Member Since: 7/13/2004	i'm not positive--the ring belongs to a pricescope member whose name escapes me, but i THOUGHT she said it was precisionset and that she got it at GOG. (Confirm or deny, Rhino!) either way i just love it. _____________________ Cap'n Zales says, "Friends don't let friends buy the $199 holiday special! Hardy-har!"

reena Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,531 Last Post: 8/22/2005 Member Since: 7/13/2004	okay: i fully acknowledge that this setting does not taper. but it could always be made to taper, right??? anyway, it's my absolute fave setting for an asscher. this little number is from dahne and weinstein, but as people have noted in the past, it appears to be the long lost twin of the magnificent asscher at artofplatinum. just a thought... _____________________ Cap'n Zales says, "Friends don't let friends buy the $199 holiday special!

Hest88 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,680 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 1/22/2003	Don't do that to me, Reena!!! I keep hinting to my sister that she could probably get what she wants from Leon Mege AND with finer prongs, but don't know if she'll go for that!

reena Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,531 Last Post: 8/22/2005 Member Since: 7/13/2004	oooooh, it is something to consider (and i'm willing to bet it would be substantially less expensive than a richard landi or michael b)... regardless though, i'm sure she'll end up with something beautiful--especially with you to help her! i also really like icestore's custom pieces, from what i can tell from their site. does she want plain platinum or something with a little pave? _____________________ Cap'n Zales says, "Friends don't let friends buy the $199 holiday special!

reena Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,531 Last Post: 8/22/2005 Member Since: 7/13/2004	okay, i am totally proscrastinating at work (i just can't adjust to being back after vacation! and that deposition is going to prepare for itself anyway, so whocares, right?), and so i just got a leeeeetle bit carried away collecting my favorite settings for an asscher cut diamond. if you don't mind i thought i might post them here as possible settings for your sis . . . even if she doesn't like all (or any) of them, they're good eyecandy, and they might still give her some ideas . . . i think this daniel k is utter perfection--at least my tastes are consistent, right? it kinda looks like my own ring with an asscher! ;)-- although from what you said it sounds like she's probably looking for something sans bezel... _____________________ Cap'n Zales says, "Friends don't let friends buy the $199 holiday special!

(it's my favorite marquise ring ever.) but i think something like this could look really cool with an asscher. it has that delicate antique look. i covet it. icestore.com _____________________ Cap'n Zales says, "Friends don't let friends buy the $199 holiday special!

Instead of reminding you of my ring, I am going to take notes! I still have an unset diamond lying around in a bank vault! Reena, where did you find all these!!??

However, I think she's really at the beginning stages of deciding what she wants so could be swayed either way if the perfect ring comes along. I have a custom tapered plain shank with a a slight knife edge, but someday when I'm all growed up I think I want that Dahne and Weinstein setting (and a bigger Asscher to go with it! ) Well, maybe. I seem to prefer pave in pictures and plain on my hand if that makes any sense
